SearchCH E2E 4 Grosse Scheidegg loop from Interlaken (82km) (51mi)
This is a circular loop, clockwise, from Interlaken which could be cycled, unladen, during a two-night stop in Interlaken. The route is flat for the first 32km to its eastmost point near Meiringen. The route then turns south-west. The next 17km is a long, very steep, 1350m climb to the 1962m summit of the Grosse Scheidegg (49km). From the summit it's a long descent to Grindlewald (60km) and Interlaken (79km).
The first 33km to Meiringen is pretty flat, on fairly quiet roads. The climb to the Grosse Scheidegg is on a fairly narrow, minor, road but with quite a lot of tourists in cars. However after Schwartzalp (47km) there is a 12km section over the summit where most cars are prohibited. After Grindlewald the route follows the main road, which probably is what the rider wants as they can go quite fast.
